"Bruce Davis, a former follower of Charles Manson and a convicted murderer, was recommended for parole last week in California after 40 years in prison. Davis, a born again Christian, has been heralded as “completely rehabilitated” by the parole board.

He had spent 15 years on death row. Under pressure Thibodeaux initially gave a false confession."
